When you enroll in a class on the Site, you agree to the following rules:
When a student takes a class on D-SOURCE, we will share the student’s username and profile with the teacher for the purpose of teaching these students on D-SOURCE. By enrolling in a class on D-SOURCE, a student grants to us permission to share that student’s information with the teacher. The teacher is required to respect the privacy of the student. The teacher has a limited license to use this information only for D-SOURCE-related communications or for D-SOURCE-facilitated transactions. The teacher may use that personal information for no other purpose, such as sending unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without express consent from that person, you must not add or misuse any student’s personal information. Remember that you need to comply with all relevant legal rules when you use D-SOURCE. This include applicable data protection and privacy laws which govern the ways in which you can use another D-SOURCE user’s information.
Finally, we may collect demographic information about you, such as gender, race and ethnic origin. We usually collect and use this information on an anonymized basis. If you provide demographic information to D-SOURCE, you do so voluntarily and D-SOURCE will collect, store and use your demographic information in accordance with our privacy policy. We may use this type of data to analyze trends and assist us in understanding demographic patterns related to our community and new and existing products, programs, or services; to administer, analyze, and improve the content and functionality of the Site and Services; for marketing; and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We utilize unstructured machine learning technologies to understand user behaviors and to provide user-specific recommendations and other personalization of the Site or Services experience.
Your subscription will continue and automatically renew on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your subscription unless and until you cancel your subscription, or your account is otherwise suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms.

No refunds are offered for membership fees or any other fees collected by the Service.
The membership fee will be billed on the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month or year thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your membership or became a paying member on March 31st, your next payment date is likely to be April 30th, and your Payment Method would be billed that date.
Unless your subscription plan is offered with a 14 day money back guarantee, payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, unless otherwise required by applicable law. You may cancel your membership in accordance with this Terms of Service.
If you purchased an annual subscription plan offered with a 14 day money back guarantee, you will be entitled to a full refund upon cancellation by contacting us to request a refund. Once your refund is confirmed, you will lose all access to your D-SOURCE membership. D-SOURCE has no obligation to consider or grant refund requests (i) for subscription plans purchased with a 7-day or longer free trial; (ii) that do not occur within the first fourteen (14) days of your membership or (iii) if there has been a violation of our Terms of Service or our Community Guidelines or fraud. You are entitled to one refund only. After your refund, any future subscriptions will no longer qualify for the 14-day money back guarantee.
You may cancel your D-SOURCE membership at any time for any or no reason. To cancel your recurring subscription, please visit your payment settings within your D-SOURCE account profile located at https//www.D-SOURCE.com/settings/payments . If you have canceled your D-SOURCE membership, you will lose access to all membership Classes you enrolled into during your D-SOURCE membership at the end of your billing period. If you choose to sign back up as a paying member, your billing date will reset to the day you paid.
From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer trials of paid subscriptions for our D-SOURCE membership for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”). D-SOURCE reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law
For some trials, we will require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. At the end of such trials, we may automatically start to charge you for the applicable paid subscription on the first day following the end of the trial on a recurring monthly or annual basis. When you provide a Payment Method, we will attempt to verify the information you entered by processing an authorization hold. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold, but your available balance or credit limit may be reduced. By providing your payment details in conjunction with the trial, you agree to this charge using such payment details. If you do not want this charge, you must cancel the applicable paid subscription through your payment settings within your D-SOURCE account profile located at https://www.d-src.com/settings/payments.
